Tim Walz once carved a school bus out of a stick of butter, writes Jill Twiss. What other qualifications does a Vice President need?
The man is a walking Minnesota State Fair; a folk hero, like Paul Bunyan or whoever invented throwing some green beans and a can of cream of mushroom soup in a baking dish, crumpling potato chips on it and calling it a casserole. He is a tater tot hotdish come to life.
I’m just saying, I have some real street cred on streets where people spend 20 minutes at four-way stops because everyone is too nice to go first. So needless to say, I’m cautiously delighted by the choice of Tim Walz as a running mate. But there is also a smaller butter sculpting contest that community members can enter and that is where Gov. Tim Walz once carved a school bus out of butter.
If I could suggest a winning presidential slogan for 2032, I’d have to go with “I Have No Idea. That’s just Tim Walz.”Usually I don’t want a politician who is relatable, or who I can have a beer with. I want a politician who is smarter than me and has better judgment than I do. Isn’t that the whole point? There is one exception to my rule, though: Any politician who is outsmarted by their own dog.
I think you all get my point. In this weird, weird time, Tim Walz is just a guy. He talks about the weather. He leaves early to beat traffic. He gives kids free lunch because every midwesterner knows that food is love.
